I have been on here yesterday reading all your post. It really helped. I thought yesterday would be my first day but didn't happen. So I'm going to see if I can do it today reading on here really helps a lot. Thank you to all for sharing. My problem opiates. Wellbutrin and gabapentine seems to help. Also 2 herbs called GABA and 5HTC. Try them. It will help also.

Take a look at The Thomas Recipe below. Helpful stuff in there. I used Valerian Root for sleep and a product called Calms Forte helped me find my way through the anxiety. I was avoiding anything addicting like Valium or Designer sleep aids. That all will need to be paid back further down the road with more anxiety and insomnia. Even the natural stuff should be treated with respect, due to future possibilities of withdrawal symptoms. Opiates work within the GABA receptor range, and our entire nervous system needs to be left alone to heal as much as you can stand. The less you put in your system right now, the quicker the detox. Don't try to fight the opiate driven insomnia for awhile. Sleep when your body allows. You WILL eventually sleep again, real sleep!

You'll get through this in a couple weeks, with the 2nd week being nothing even close to the first week when it comes to WD symptoms. Just hang in there. You can do this. Stick with us on here!

Hi there
I'm here for opiate abuse, 27yrs.  This is NOT my first time trying to get clean.  I'm happy you are choosing to clear yourself.......Oh man it's so much nicer on the other side escape. You have a lot of great stuff
waiting for you in your new clear life.

This site has been truly a Godsend for me.  These people are wonderful
caring and helpful.  

The wellbutrin I've taken for years and I suspect it has helped me through this ordeal too.

Good luck and hang in there.....you can do it.
peace
